Scope & limits

What Ready Rooms is - and isn't.

Ready Rooms is a housing navigation and referral organization - not a crisis response service, a licensed medical or behavioral health provider, or a legal aid organization, and it does not operate a San Antonio office. Independent housing providers in the network set their own screening, eligibility, availability, and pricing; Ready Rooms does not make final eligibility determinations or guarantee placement.

For an active safety emergency, call 911. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988. For domestic violence, contact a DV-specific hotline or shelter directly.

How do I refer someone to Ready Rooms?

Submit a professional referral with the client's housing need, timeline, and funding source. Ready Rooms reviews the referral and identifies potential housing matches from our network - final eligibility and admission decisions remain with the individual housing provider.
